This is sad news on one hand, but on the other hand I know very well that it is good not to get stuck with old circumstances and habits when you have changed. Sounds like it is time to move on for you. Thank you very much - and good luck with whatever you are planning for the future.

Its 10 yrs you can be proud of thats for sure! Your work has always been so exact to originals. I have always admired your work and it inspired me to have a go too!

Nick, AUSTRALIA


I thank you for the fabulous things you've made for me in the past, and I wish you every success with your future ventures.

Bill, UNITED STATES


A big decision I know but quite reversable if you change your mind! I think you get a lot from your research, writing and experimentation - as do we all. Spare time just can't be bought when you need some. Who knows what is around the corner.

Peter, AUSTRALIA


I am very sad you stop your production.

Peter Beatson
BIRKA was a town in Sweden where the Vikings came to trade with merchants of many distant lands.

The image to the right is of Peter in Rus' costume. This costume was based almost entirely on archaeological finds from Scandinavia and 'Varangian' settlements in Russia.
